Hello,

I’m getting a formatting error when I try to use Scene Breakdown in Nuke:

 ![Capture](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/shotgunsoftware/original/2X/0/00c29ea64061fc76a21cf46af070d04eaac6466d.png)

Here’s my read node file path: /sequences/101-001/101-001-010/3D/publish/elements/3d/main/v025/960x540/101-001-010\_main\_v025.%04d.exr

And here’s the template it’s based on: ‘@shot\_root/publish/elements/3d/{name}/v{version}/{width}x{height}/{Shot}\_{name}\_v{version}.%04d.{render\_extension}’

Any ideas as to why I’m getting formatting issues and/or how to troubleshoot this are much appreciated, thanks!

Turns out the sgtk template formatting doesn’t like “%04d” padding. Instead of hard-coding it I used the {SEQ} key in my template:

‘@shot\_root/publish/elements/3d/{name}/v{version}/{width}x{height}/{Shot}\_{name}\_v{version}.{SEQ}.{render\_extension}’

Then in my fields dictionary, before applying them to my template, I set it to:

```
fields["SEQ"] = "FORMAT: %d"
```
